Product Description

Review

"Ringo has become one of the writers whose work I jump first to when books arrive. . . ."

Product Description

The human was an expert sniper-and a psychopath. He had never failed in the past when he stalked human prey. But now he is on an enemy planet, and his prey is anything but human. The Darhel are a race with a highly developed empathic sense. Long ago, they learned that they cannot deal death to another intelligent being without being destroyed by the death agonies of their victim. Even though they have been manipulating other species behind the scenes for millennia, including the humans of planet Earth, they cannot bear to kill another being, and depend on other, less sensitive beings to do their dirty work. But now one of the Darhel must kill or be killed. And the fate, not only of his own race, but all of humanity, is riding on his survival. The course of the next thousand years will be determined by whether or not he can learn to fight back. If he cannot, it will be too late...for the entire galaxy.

Seriously bad 12 Jan 2009
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Sadly i have to agree with the previous reviewer. I have had this book, read about 90% of it, had it over a year and just can't find the enthusiasm to complete it.

It make me wonder how much of this book was written by Michael Z Willamson because I rate John Ringo as a superb writer and its disappointing he has put his name to a book of such poor quality.

Not that bad! 6 April 2011
Format:Mass Market Paperback
While no where near the best in the series, this is not as bad as the other reviewers have written. It's basically a survival tale between two warriors (once some of the cannon fodder has been put out of the picture). What I did find strange is that it gives away a MAJOR development in the future story line of the world Ringo created, in books which are to be set in the past as far as this edition is concerned. Confused?

The Hero 11 July 2007
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This book By John Ringo and Michael Z.williamson is the worst book I have read I am a great fan of John Ringo but I do not think it was a dual effort or that John Ringo has even read it if he had he would not have had anything to do with this book do not buy it.
